Dhurandhar: The Revenge—the highly anticipated sequel to the 2025 blockbuster Dhurandhar—has already made a staggering ₹200 crore in advance ticket sales before its official theatrical release, surpassing the advance booking day‑one figures of major Bollywood hits like Jawan and Animal. The achievement underscores exceptional audience excitement and positions the film for one of the biggest openings in Indian cinema history.
The Ranveer Singh‑led action thriller, directed by Aditya Dhar, is scheduled to hit cinemas on 19 March 2026 across India and in multiple languages, reflecting a pan‑India distribution strategy. Advance bookings have been record‑breaking, with over 10 lakh tickets sold domestically and strong global interest contributing to the ₹200 crore figure even before the first scheduled show.
Industry analysts say such remarkable pre‑sales are rare, typically seen only with the biggest films in Indian film history. Dhurandhar 2 is now widely expected to challenge major box office records on its opening day and across its first weekend, with some forecasts suggesting day‑one global collections could exceed ₹200 crore and an opening weekend upwards of ₹500 crore.

The advance booking rush has also been fuelled by heightened fan engagement and widespread promotional campaigns. Social media buzz and paid previews in key markets have contributed to unprecedented ticket demand, including strong numbers in North America and other overseas territories.
The first installment of Dhurandhar was itself a massive commercial success, grossing hundreds of crores worldwide and reinforcing the franchise’s appeal. Its legacy appears to be translating into even greater anticipation for The Revenge, as audiences gear up for what could be a landmark weekend for Indian box office performance.
With its combination of star power, immersive action sequences, and widespread advance booking momentum, Dhurandhar 2 is poised not only to beat contemporaries like Jawan and Animal in advance business but potentially rewrite opening day and weekend benchmarks in Bollywood.
